This article is entirely unreferenced, concerns a possibly non-notable theory, and may constitute original research. John254 04:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with sexual addiction. Jonathan321 (talk) 04:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge Agreed with above. A merger would be better suited rather than a complete deletion of the idea and article. --blurpeace (talk - contributions) 04:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sexual addiction. The issue is the lack of references making it look like original research, merging will only transfer the problem.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 09:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to sexual addiction. There is nothing worth merging. The article is not hard science. - Richard Cavell (talk) 09:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Might as well face it, redirect per Esradekan. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Although I have heard of this, I think it's generally considered a brand of sexual addiction, so I agree with merging anything useful (and sourceable), if such material exists, and redirecting in any event. 23skidoo (talk) 16:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. It sounds crude when I refer to this as a "dicdef".  This seems like little more than someone trying to explain, in a Katie Couric interview, what the these two words mean.  It's a sexual addiction, a process addiction, a psychological addiction, maybe even a pornographic addiction... it's all about jobs.  Well, a certain type of job.

 * Redirect - to sexual addiction. It is a form of it, perhaps, but unsourced and possible original research.  The author can expand upon this concept at sexual addiction.  (assuming it is sourced) David WS  (contribs)  21:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
